What steps have to be taken after the exchange semester?

For recognition of courses passed on your studies abroad please contact the respective chairs at Kiel University and submit the transcript of records from the foreign university (including course title, workload, credits and grades), the name of the professor responsible, the content of the course, a list of literature and possibly other materials that offer information about the content and quality of the course. Recognition of foreign courses is only possible if the grade is based on an individual performance (e.g. exam, term paper). Finally, for official recognition, all documents have to be submitted to the examination office.
